Dr. Gonzo Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I used to ride a motorcycle a lot when I first moved out here - I always thought they were cool and traffic seemed like shit, but California allows motorcyclists to lane split... and then when I actually rode one I got a huge fucking adrenaline rush so I loved it. Then I got into a pretty bad crash and almost killed myself and totaled my bike - so I don't ride motorcycles anymore lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hardcore I will let my daughter know there are worse things lurking around than one quick moving Spider She was having a meltdown in the bathroom because it rushed up the wall as she was about to use the loo and wouldn't go in there until I had extracted the offending individual..

Haha, I prefer snakes over spiders. And I prefer both over tuktuk drivers There was probably a nest somewhere in the building, as all three were younglings, one of them came into my bedroom through balcony and tried making love with my stereo cable The other two were just hanging on the rails of the balcony, we used kitchen tongs to remove them all. I find snakes fascinating, it's just that there are quite a few highly venomous kinds here, so got to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ok with most Reptiles and such like but as you say some can be a bit dangerous so I would treat them with caution. I was once doing a job on a block of flats back in my younger days and this bloke had a Snake and because I was curious he got it out and let me handle it for a bit and it somehow started wrapping its body between my thumb and my upper arm and began Constricting... struggled to get the bugger off and it nearly broke my thumb. lucky the owner was nearby and managed to peel it off me...

Strong as fuck! Jesus, was it a boa constrictor or a python or whatever? Sounds painful The dangerous ones we have here are kraits, cobras and vipers mostly.

There used to be a rhyme knocking about that gives you a guide but can't remember what it is now so I would be knackered if I came across one My golden rule is if it looks dangerous then it probably is.. The bloke was selling it and asked if I wanted to buy it and I was tempted at the time but there was no way I was going to swing that past my Mother no matter what I said so turned the bloke down...

Potentially on my list can’t be as terrifying as skydiving (although the free fall from that is literally indescribable) Youll have to let us know how it is!!
